 | Birthday: December 19 Born in: Brooklyn, New York "I change my hair all the time. I think it's important for actors to feel comfortable no matter how they look. It's not good for me to get too set in my ways. If I get a movie and I need to have my head shaved, it's important to be able to have the courage to do that. I could cut it all off. Of course, I'd have to call Mr. Spelling first." Born and raised in Brooklyn, Alyssa got her start with the national touring company of Annie. At 10, she was cast as Samantha Micelli in the long-running comedy "Who's the Boss?" starring opposite Tony Danza for eight years. The show ended in 1992, and she continued to hone her talents on both the big and small screens. Alyssa's next starring role was on the hit drama "Melrose Place" for two seasons. She starred in the title role in the feature comedy "Hugo Pool". Directed by Robert Downey, Sr. and co-starring Sean Penn, Malcolm McDowell and Richard Lewis, the film chronicled a day in the life of a Bel-Air pool cleaner (Alyssa). Her additional feature credits include the psychological thriller "Fear" with Reese Witherspoon and Mark Wahlberg, "Double Dragon", "Where the Day Takes You" and "Commando". She has starred in a wide range of television movies including "Braving Alaska", "The Surrogate", "Conflict of Interest", "Candles in the Dark" and in "Gold Rush", an original television movie on "Disney". She also guest-starred in an episode of Showtime's "Rebel Highway". On stage, Alyssa starred in "Tender Offer", a one-act play written by Wendy Wasserstein; "All Night Long"; and the first American musical adaptation of "Jane Eyre". She returned to her theater roots in 1991 when she starred in and produced a Los Angeles production of "Butterflies Are Free".
